Music Frozen in Time

This wonderful sculpture is located in Helsinki - a monument to Sibelius. More than a hundred steel cylinders make soft sounds in the wind. Nearby stands a steel sculpture of the composer's disembodied head.

Rik Allen says: "The futuristic antiquity of this series was inspired by my life-long fascination with the design of technology - especially the purposefully “futuristic” technology of the mid-20th Century... I’ve been drawing rockets for as long as I can remember, and the power of their image is expressed in the work you see today – vessels of cinematic grace and movement that travel the black seas of our creative infinity."
